The app records and transcribes conversations on-device, labels speakers, and streams the live transcript to MCP-compatible AI clients like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor for instant advice, notes, and action items. Priced at a one-time US$19.99 (App Store) or US$19.90 (direct download), VoxAI requires no account, no cloud upload, and keeps all recordings and exports accessible locally.", "body_md": "## Transcribe as you talk\n\nLive speaker labels mean no replaying the whole recording later.\n\nLocal transcription + live AI copilot for macOS\n\nVoxAI records locally, transcribes, and labels every speaker — then gives the live conversation to the AI you already use. Get advice while you talk, then turn the full record into notes and action items.\n\nLive speaker labels mean no replaying the whole recording later.\n\nQuestions, risks, and next steps arrive while they still matter.\n\nHand the complete record to your AI for notes, actions, and follow-up.\n\nMore than a recorder\n\nVoxAI keeps one accurate record for you and one live stream for your AI. You stay in the conversation; the details keep organizing themselves.\n\nMeetings and in-person conversations get live speaker labels. Calls separate your mic and system audio, so identity comes from the channel — not a guess.\n\nIt follows the growing transcript and can push fact checks, questions, risks, strategy, and action items into the side panel.\n\nExport clean Markdown, ask for a recap, draft the follow-up, or return to any conversation later. Your archive remains yours.\n\nFour conversation modes\n\nMultiple speakers, live names, and AI notes that grow with the room.\n\nYou and the other side on separate channels, with labels that never need guessing.\n\nNegotiations, interviews, and one-on-ones with advice tuned to the moment.\n\nSpeak to your AI from across the room and hear the answer out loud.\n\nThree steps to start\n\nNo extension, Python environment, or API-key maze. VoxAI ships as one notarized Mac app and gives your AI the exact connection prompt.\n\nOpen the notarized .dmg and move VoxAI across. Installation is done.\n\nCopy the prompt from VoxAI. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client connects itself.\n\nYour AI checks in by name. Start the conversation and let VoxAI handle the record.\n\nThree steps. There is no fourth step.\n\nLocal by default\n\nRecording, transcription, speaker labels, and the flagship local voice can all run on-device. VoxAI does not require an account, and cloud options stay off until you explicitly turn them on.\n\nThe raw conversation does not need to leave your computer.\n\nEvery upload path sits behind a clear switch and notice.\n\nView and export every old recording forever, whether you buy or not.\n\nNo account · local MCP over stdio · no open network port\n\nTry the whole product first\n\nThe trial is the real app, not a stripped-down demo. No account, no card, and no locked features.\n\nMAC APP STORE\n\nUS$0\n\nThe first ten sessions are the complete app. Unlock inside the app for US$19.99.\n\nDIRECT DOWNLOAD · REGULAR US$39\n\nUS$19.90\n\nFor the .dmg version. One payment, key by email, activated locally — a separate line from the App Store purchase.\n\nVoxAI degrades gently: your history remains fully viewable and exportable, new recordings cap at ten minutes, and live copilot advice pauses until you unlock.\n\nTwo independent lines. From the Mac App Store, you unlock inside the app and can restore it on any Mac signed in to the same Apple Account. From the .dmg, a key reaches your payment email; paste it into VoxAI and local verification unlocks it permanently. A key from one line does not activate the other.\n\nAny MCP client can browse and summarize the archive. Agentic clients that can keep a live loop — including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — can act as the real-time copilot.\n\nNo. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.\n\nFor people who want the protocol\n\nVoxAI includes a local MCP server. A new client reads the protocol instructions as soon as it connects, so the archive and live copilot behavior travel with the product.\n\n**Needs** Any MCP client\n\n**Gets** Browse, rename, summarize, export, and speak recordings\n\n**Needs** An agentic client that can loop\n\n**Gets** Listen live, push advice, and hold a voice-direct dialog\n\n`list_meetings / get_meeting / rename_meeting`\n\n`get_live_transcript / start_listening / stop_listening`\n\n`push_advice / get_dialog_input / post_dialog_reply`\n\n`speak / stop_speaking / list_voices / update_voice_config`\n\nREADY WHEN YOU ARE", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-give-your-ai-ears-live-meeting-transcripts-over-mcp-on-macos", "canonical_source": "https://voxai.ethanflow.com/", "published_at": "2026-07-25 11:27:48+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-25 11:52:27.758875+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "artificial-intelligence", "natural-language-processing", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["VoxAI", "Claude Code", "Codex", "Cursor", "Mac App Store", "MCP"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-give-your-ai-ears-live-meeting-transcripts-over-mcp-on-macos", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-give-your-ai-ears-live-meeting-transcripts-over-mcp-on-macos.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-give-your-ai-ears-live-meeting-transcripts-over-mcp-on-macos.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-give-your-ai-ears-live-meeting-transcripts-over-mcp-on-macos.jsonld"}}
